The still soaring price of gold has made fine jewellery an unobtainable luxury for some, but if you’re like me, the price hasn’t dampened your ardor for pretty sparkly things.

This Karla ID bracelet fits the bill – made of over 8 carats of white sapphires set in blackened rhodium plated sterling silver, it is classic with a twist. And at USD $990, while not inexpensive, it is still within reach for a piece like this. My only complaint – is it that difficult to use a tongue-in-groove clasp, instead of the ubiquitous lobster clasp, which really throws off the balance and look of a design? Rant over. You can buy this from Plukka’s web site, where they have lots of other lovely eye candy on view.
